Cottonseed oil fatty acid composition was determined for several cotton genotypes included
in the 2006 and 2007 years of the National Cotton Variety Trials. Seed was collected from a …

Main conclusion Some naturally occurring cotton accessions contain commercially attractive
seed oil fatty acid profiles. The likely causal factor for a high-oleate trait in pima cotton …

Cottonseed oil has a 2: 1 ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid. Linoleic acid is an
essential fatty acid, but in large amounts it contributes to a short shelf‐life due to rancidity …

Cotton breeding has traditionally focused on improving crop productivity and fiber quality.
While this is still the major objective, there is increased interest in improving the nutritional …

The increase in the population at the global level necessitates to explore promising
approaches to increase food supply, including protein and oil, to meet the needs of the …

Historically, the primary objective of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) breeding programs was

Recent studies have suggested that cottonseed (Gossypium spp.) has the potential to
contribute to the effort against world hunger, particularly by providing a high‐quality protein …

Twenty lines with high and low seed‐oil percentages were selected from 747 lines in the
Upland cotton, Gossypium hisutum L., germplasm collection. These lines were used to …

Due to the difficulty in producing cotton F 1 hybrid seed through hand emasculation and
pollination, the capture of heterosis in cotton production is limited. The purpose of this study …

Research on the effects of genetics and growing location on cottonseed has shown that oil
and fatty acid composition could be improved if geneticists and agronomists would strive for …
